The musician Raquel Lilly has shown a parody of “Hot Tub” streamers like Amouranth on Twitch, but apparently exaggerated it so much that Twitch banned her. The Twitch partner sees this as proof that her art act was successful. Other users see it as evidence that E-girls on Twitch are completely out of control.
What did the streamer do?
- In a stream on November 2, the streamer parodied so-called “Hot Tub Streamers” like Amouranth.
- She sat in a bathtub wearing a bikini to circumvent Twitch’s clothing regulations, asked for donations, and there was a wheel with tasks she had to do when it landed on certain fields.
- When the wheel landed on “Cake on Cake”, she repeatedly sat on a cupcake while singing, which she then eagerly ate. Cake is also used as slang for “butt” in English, making it a play on the double meaning of Cake for “butt” and “cake”.
What the heck is this with the cake? “Sitting on a cake” is a sexual fetish known as “Cake Sitting”.
As the site Vice.com points out, one appeal of “Cake Sitting” is the tactile sensation: it is “soft and wet and cool and sticky.” Additionally, it is enticing to break a taboo.
The streamer Raquel Lilly apparently parodies this “Cake Sitting” by smashing a cupcake – it doesn’t seem very sensual.
In her stream, there was also a note saying “This is art” – in case the philistines don’t recognize it immediately:
Twitch bans streamer for 3 days
What did Twitch do? The streaming service temporarily banned the Twitch partner Raquel Lilly. However, it is only a 3-day ban, according to the streamer.
It can be assumed that the ban was due to sexually suggestive content. Practically all bans in the “Hot Tubs” category revolve around this, as clothing regulations are relaxed there, but one cannot behave sexually explicitly in this part of Twitch officially.
Streamer sees the action as an art act – E-girl satire
What does the streamer say about her ban? The streamer describes herself as a “songwriter and producer”. She apparently planned the performance as a “satire on E-girls” to promote a new song. She says such a ban is part of the exciting life of an E-girl. She laughed for an hour after the incident.
E-girls thrive on bans. It’s okay. It’s part of the experience.
The satire was so good that she got banned. She was too close to the sun and “girlbossed”. She isn’t quite sure why she was banned, but those are good news.
Her appearance as an E-girl seems to be an ironic performance. While she does have the typical link to Onlyfans in her biography, it does not lead to the pay site but rather to a selection of platforms where one can purchase her music.
“Streamers are out of their damn mind”
How do others see the action? From the outside, Raquel Lilly’s action is by no means seen as satire, but as another example that “E-girls on Twitch are completely out of control.”
A Twitter user wrote: They’ve completely lost their minds now.
Since a few weeks ago when a streamer had sex live on air and only received a short ban, there has been a heated discussion about why there are only short bans for such things on Twitch – but other people get permanently banned.
Especially the permanent ban of JiDion is constantly a topic in the US community:
Twitch bans streamer permanently after hate raid on a streamer
